The first in a series of 7 visualizations directed by Ben Dean to accompany a 7-track compilation from music label Future Classic. “Shelter In Place” explores the challenges of self isolation and the ways we turn to artistic expression to escape them. As Dean states:
“The tracks all have their own unique feel, which I felt was the perfect opportunity to showcase different people and their unique approaches to quarantining at home. The goal was to create a series of films that people can relate to during this crazy state we’ve been living in through abstract interpretive dances at home. We explored a range of emotions people have been experiencing, from frustration and anger, to hopefulness and helplessness, to simply boredom and overeating. I wanted each film to feel like we’ve stumbled upon a raw moment captured with everyday people.”
